People may vote against the government, but they are fucking stupid to do that when the alternative is worse.
'Fuck Trudeau' is an expression of idiocy; feel free to use it if you like to be viewed as an idiot. Yes I am offended that the clownvoy assholes corrupted the Canadian flag. It will take time for it to recover.
Someone displaying 'fuck Harper' is an immature twat. They shouldn't have be fined, but there was no particular ideology represented by that phase other than its face value so it was not as bad as someone waving 'fuck Trudeau' flags indicating that they are part of a moronic redneck gang.
Trudeau may have allowed Chinese Canadians to get involved in politics and thus indirectly allowed some CPP influence. There's an investigation happening now; a public inquiry wouldn't get any more info (probably less) and would be very expensive.
Trudeau is not 'just as bad as pp' and that's where your 'both sides' argument makes you useless and finds you effectively supporting right wing nut jobs.

They already cut corners and caused this leak

I'd like to say residents should trust whatever independent or government investigators end up concluding... but that's easy to say since i don't live there

I wouldn't blame ppl for not believing a word they are told

So does his brother:

"67-year-old Darrell Christopher Fuson was issued a citation on March 13 for an incident that occurred on Saturday, February 26, at Rotary Park in Clarksville. Two witnesses told deputies that Fuson was actively masturbating in plain view, approximately fifteen feet from them. Fuson admitted to the activity and was later issued a citation for two counts of indecent exposure."

So, issued a citation on 3/13 for an incident occurring 2/26. I HIGHLY doubt this has anything to do with the sheriff's decision either, right?

People keep forgetting that North Korea does nothing of this sort without China's express approval. It may actually be a Chinese device being tested. This allows China to play both sides. First they create the crisis by having NK perform a test, then they get credit for pulling things back from the brink.

Well the Monticello NPP is pretty close to the beginning of the Mississippi, compared to its entire run through the US, (it is significantly before even Minneapolis/St.Paul), so the river is actually quite clean up there in comparison to its state by the time it hits the Gulf.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

A pattern of apparent stupidity that benefits the “stupid” is not adequately explained by mere stupidity.

The fact it benefits the “stupid”, and the “stupid” keeps doing it, despite the harm it’s going to others (because malice wouldn’t even be a question if there were no harm happening) is all the evidence you need to assume malice.

Even if they are truly ignorant of the harm that’s happening, willful ignorance is malice.

Additionally lying and claiming stupidity is a common defense for the malicious who get caught. The intelligently malicious will make sure that their actions can appear to be explained by stupidity.

No, the variables of “The stupidity is a pattern” and “The stupidity benefits the one being stupid” change the equation enough that you’re the stupid one if you think that “they don’t know that they’re doing, they’re just dumb” is sufficient explanation.

> The irony of all the panic is that if it DID reach the Mississippi, it would be diluted even more by billions of gallons of water as it went through the state and country, making it less radiation that eating a banana once a year...

The sad irony is that the Mississippi is already so polluted if the radioactive water actually did reach it it would probably reduce the pollution on a whole.
